Unilever&#x2019;s Vision to grow our business, while decoupling our
environmental footprint from our growth and increasing our positive
social impact, will require more sustainable ways of doing
business. In a world where resources are scarce and demand for them
continues to increase, it is critical that we succeed in reducing
our resource consumption and converting to sustainably sourced
supplies. In doing this we are dependent on the efforts of partners
and various certification bodies. We are also committed to
improving health and wellbeing and enhancing livelihoods around the
world so Unilever and our communities grow successfully together.
There can be no assurance that sustainable business solutions will
be developed and failure to do so could limit Unilever&#x2019;s
growth and profit potential and damage our corporate
reputation.</font></div>
